A top official of the Nigerian Correctional Service has given an update on how crossdresser, Bobrisky is being treated in prison.
Recall that Bobrisky was handed a six-month prison sentence over naira abuse.
While sentencing him, Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos, said the judgment would be a deterrent to others who are found abusing and mutilating the naira.
An official of the prison who spoke to Punch said the crossdresser was taken to prison after the judgement and he was examined at the point of admission.
It was also stated that no realignment of gender or genital organ was discovered as his male biological features were the same.
The source told the publication “Bobrisky made a public declaration that he was a male and court proceedings are public records.
Every inmate brought into a facility during admission is examined. He was equally examined and no realignment of gender or genital organ was discovered.
The male biological features were the same.
“After that, a cell was allocated to him, and he had a certain number of inmates with him. A bed space was also allotted to him. It is just like a boarding house where your housemaster will issue you your personal
belongings.
“When it is time for class, he attends. When it is time for food, he will go and get his portion. The same goes with prep and light out.
He observes all these without preference. He has been going about his business just like other inmates since he was brought in here.
“He is not getting any five-star treatment and is not being protected from anybody. He follows the same rules and regulations just like every other inmate.
Single cells of isolation cells are to prevent outbreaks of communicable diseases. In a male prison, homosexuality is outlawed and it is a grievous offence.
Sodomy or homosexuality, is frowned upon here in the custodial centre. So any inmate that tries to violate him will face the law.”
